The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Wednesday opened a seventh public vaccination site, this one near Soto Station along the L (Gold) Line in Boyle Heights.
The site is located just south of the station, which is at 2330 E. First St., and will provide doses of the Pfizer vaccine from noon to 7 p.m. on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays.
The vaccine is available to everyone 12 years old and over, but children need a parent or guardian present in order to be vaccinated.

COVID-19 vaccines are also available at Metro's Union Station, the Crenshaw/105 Station in Hawthorne, the Harbor Gateway Transit Center in Gardena, the Del Amo Station in Rancho Dominguez, the El Monte Station and at a Metro-owned property at 339 N. Fickett St. near Bus Line 70 in Boyle Heights.
